As tedu@ reported (and some pople on misc@ confirmed) partly disabling
2D acceleration on Broadwell made X unstable. It really looks like
the alternative BLT path isn't well tested and therefore buggy. So
here is a diff that disables 2D acceleration completely. Those who
don't care about suspend/resume can still enable it if they want. 3D
acceleration should continue to work.
ok?
